So we need another 3/4 defender

I saw Kawhi driving to the paint and scoring at will against the best and strongest defenders in the league. If you think Exum can do anything to stop it you are really delusional.

If you read anyone saying Exum could stop Kawhi then you are totally delusional.
 
If the Magic put Aaron Gordon on the trade block, I’d really like the Jazz to make a play to get him. They’d have to trade for more salary to make it work (before officially signing Davis, Mudiay and Green), AND they’d have to work with Memphis to tweak the protections of the pick for Conley, AND they’d have to include Exum and Bradley to make it work.

There’s a lot going against it happening. . . but DAMN. . .

Conley, Mitchell, O’Neale, Bogdanovic, Jingles, Gordon, Gobert and Davis would be a helluva playoff rotation. Figure the 9th spot minutes would go to Mudiay, Niang or a FA not yet on the team. Lots of potential with that group. Worth paying a big price if the opportunity arises.

1) No way Orlando does that now. I think they could be a top 4 team in the East if things go right. Maybe in January or February though.
2) Other than Exum, I think we’d have to include Davis to make the contracts work.
 
Why did you bring up Kyle Anderson doe?
To answer your question. . . I’m guessing this is why. . .
So looking at defensive real plus minus for SF position las year...

Thabo is #3, Royce is #5, Joe is #15

Luol Deng also up there a couple years in a row and Kyle Anderson is top 5 two years in a row... with two different teams. I could see Grizz wanting to unload his long term salary... his game is so weird... if he could only shoot the 3.

I read an article a few days ago too where it mentioned how Anderson was one of the better players in the league at defending Lebron. Butler seemed to be the best. One or two other guys. But Anderson was mentioned too as well.

I remember him doing well against KD too... Dante for Anderson?

I’d think Quin would love his versatility on both ends of the court too.

Anderson is still just 25 too.
